So Obama made Prez bush sign the status of forces agreement in Oct 2008?

Senator Obama who was running for office at the time is now responsible for bush signing the status of forces agreement SOFA (which set in motion the time and date for the US troops to pull out) in Oct of 2008 that Iraq agreed to in Nov 2008 that created the vacuum that's led to the shit we find ourselves into? Uh huh, sure.

This is Obama's fault for starting the war based on BS, oh wait, that was bush. bush told the enemy the month and the year that we'd remove our forces.

So it's Obama's fault there is a power vacuum in Iraq?

Sorry, I needed to vent

Sometimes I just wonder who in the hell they actually think they are talking to with that shit. Especially now more than ever, hell even the wingnuts are calling them out on their bullshit.

Fans of the President usually cite how Obama got us out of Iraq. Now, they want to have it both ways and say Obama had nothing to do with the mess that's going on over there right now.

The truth is Obama wanted to keep some troops in Iraq but they kicked our ass out according to SOFA signed by Bush "The Dumber."

POTUS travelled back in time to 2008 and forced Bushliar to sign it, under threat of actually prosecuting him for something.

Is that clear now?
